Tom Cleverley - Loan Confirmed

[junxs]

Reading the last couple of pages, either Tom Cleverley hasn't got an agent, or he's being compared to Paul Scholes for his footballing skills..

I don't think I appreciated just how good Scholes was until I got a bit older. I must have been 12-13 ish when he first came through, and for a good 7-8 years I thought he was over rated and living on the back of the others. Then I must have watched United 3-4 times in quick succession, and realised that the others were made look so good by him pulling the strings, finding space, and just being generally pretty brilliant. Must also be one of the most mis-used players by England of the so called "golden generation".

Indeed. Remember him playing on the left in a 4-4-2?

Remember the goal he scored against us the week before xmas in 2008?  Spoiled my Christmas.

Yeah, one of those where you can see a few home fans clapping in grudging admiration. And our goalie looking round wondering what happened.

It was Scott Carson mind.

Welcome to the club Tom, it is the greatest you will ever play for.

Agree. He was he kind of player you build a team around, not shove into a role. Shame he played for such a horrible club, but as  a player, yeah, one to admire.

or was it Kiraly?

It was Kiraly:

Stunning goal, the talented barsteward.

or was it Kiraly?

Oh yeah, coulda been.

EDIT: was.

[olaftab]

OK Kiraly....
however hate Scholes dirty little shit who got away with murder most of the times. Should have had more red cards then he did.

[silhillvilla]

Same with Gerrard , if they weren't playing in the sky4 wankoff FC they'd have been red carded every other week.

[Legion]

His defining moment? Bit personal...

Back when United were good.

Didn't Chris Sutton take a nasty knock in that game which cost him part of his vision and quickly ended his career? I wonder whether his full vision ever came back.
